    AFAIK HKC code their UK stock differently because their Irish products are more expensive.

    They are a lot cheaper. If there was a way around it there are plenty of installers over here who would be buying from the UK. I find on average HKC devices are 20-25 % dearer that other manufacturers.

    Not much in the price really. The kits in England are also different compared to here which is where you see the main price difference.

    I don't discuss prices as end users get different prices through the different wholesalers. Different kits plus importing does not make the price compared much of a difference. Have a shop around and let us know how you get on.

    The kits are made up a little differently as shocks are not a big thing in the UK.
    Other than that pricing like with like the Irish products are dearer. The UK products are coded differently to prevent you buying the cheaper devices in the UK etc.
    If you compare with the likes of Risco you will see some price difference also.

    No they will not work plus they have a union jack stamped on the inside of them just in case you try to return them
